i already posted this on get satisfaction, but 17 days later i see no reply so ill F#$%^ post it here.
I start the game, see nothing but a blank screen, i alt-tab and see an error box but cant pull it in front to read. So basically the game crashes on start.
I download NS2 on steam so i can play alpha.
system spec: able to run anything, thats my specs simplified

Anyway, have you tried verifying the game cache or just re-downloading the game all together?
Updated video drivers? etc
Did you perform any other troubleshooting steps on your own yet?
Keep trying to get what the error box says, as it should help.
Also, giving actual system specs is still helpful. Just because your system can "run anything", doesn't really mean much. Knowing system specs could give other important clues.
Specifying specs isn't always about knowing if you can run it or not. What's your GPU? Nvidia or ATI? It might be a crash related to the PhysX files. If you've got an Nvidia card, they are included with the drivers, so try installing the latest drivers from Nvidia's website. If it still doesn't work or if you're using an ATI, you can try and get the latest PhysX system software from Nvidia's website.
It seems like getting poor PhysX drivers have been a huge problem for some people.
Other things to try are run in windowed mode. You can find your options.xml file and edit it to change the settings. Mine was in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Natural Selection 2\ Edit using your favorite editor (I used notepad++). Also, please post actual specs since even the uber macho machines aren't getting great performance. It's an alpha, and really you're not missing much unless you enjoy submitting bug reports.
intel i7 quad core 2.8ghz
6gb ram
nvidia gtx 285 OC
and i have verified the integrity of the files as well as re-downloading.
my video driver is up to date as well

If you use XP and you have all updated it should work. Check if you have installed DirectX 9c. In the redist folder you have the DirectX 9c installer.
If you have Vista or Win 7 then you have a better DirectX and should work. Here you have to go to microsoft site and find the correct version of DirectX for Vista or Win 7
When you upgraded the video driver, have you first uninstalled the old one? If not, uninstall all related nVidia video driver (including Physx), reboot and then install the latest one.
Unfortunately you can't do this with DirectX.
What you can do is go to Start - Run (not sure the name in english) and write dxdiag, click Enter. Now, in the first tab, almost at the bottom it should say somthing like: <b>DirectX version: DirectX 9c (4.09.0000.0904)</b>
If your version is older than this one, upgrade DirectX. If it is the same or greater, go through the tabs and perform the tests to see if there is an error, specially on the screen tab. Do this before you go for the painful road of uninstall the video driver.
Have you ever manually installed DX9?
Even though Win7 comes pre-loaded with DX11, you sometimes still need to load the legacy DX9 files for some games.

didnt work. :/
Also, did you try running in Windowed mode as recommended before?
I'm XP and worse hardware and don't have this issue, so maybe it's the 64-bit deal.
Solution: Completely erased every bit of NS2 from PC.
press start and type "Natural Selection 2", delete the folder as well as the other bit of files left after uninstall from steam client.
Re-install and it should be fix.
Maybe the first time it didn't make the options.xml file. I've seen that happen.
Textures sound like they were corrupt. Since Steam downloads everything for us, there is really nothing your can mess up yourself. Manually deleting everything was the smart thing to do, which he eventually figured out.
Seriously, Jamie, STFU.
This is not constructive. Don't insult other members.
No idea what caused it and still have not been able to get it resolved.
Tried a complete re-install of NS2, Steam, vid card update, manual DX9 install.... nothing works. Just keep getting the same damn error.

Not sure if it is a known bug but for some reason NS2 will not launch in fullscreen for me. Could be my resolution 1920x1080 or hardware. I am really not sure

you won't be able to play at that resolution on an 8800. try going down to 1024x768 or 1280x960. also check the directx options in your video drivers, they might be doing something.
8800gts should be fine at 1920x1080 for a game like NS2 once it's more optimized. Maybe not so much Crysis, though.
yeah, but for NS2 alpha, it runs worse than crysis.
